Just curious if anyone has done this and what happens when we report a dangerous, speeding, reckless driver in our town.
On our way home from the Animal Hospital, we had to slam on brakes when a Toyota at a high rate of speed jumped in front of us. I have the license plate and spouse has a photo of driver when we got to next stop light.
Dangerous out there,
Seannie

I would, especially if I could potentially be saving someone's life or even his.

@Seannie - I certainly would report him! He needs to be stopped before someone gets hurt. Good for you for getting the license plate.
Please report him Seannie.

Oh, gee......That's a tough one.
If only a person could remain anonymous.
Around here, a few different drivers 'speed by', and I don't have the time to see the actual license plates.
And, if I'm standing in my front yard, I would feel somewhat 'uneasy' to report it.
Well, that's what I'm thinking right now.
Maybe other drivers who are on the road can take moving videos of the said reckless drivers......
'Still'......It's a toss-up now-a-days.
Keep as safe as possible, everyone. Drivers and folks reporting.

No, I wouldn't report that. If I saw a driver weaving all over the road, or speeding through red lights and almost causing collisions, or going around a stopped bus full of children, then I'd call the police. Your intentions are good, but drivers who are rude and cause you to slam on your brakes are a fact of life unfortunately. Maybe others would feel differently.

@Seannie. The police won't do anything since they didn't see the infraction. However, hopefully the license number will go on their virtual "radar" they get in their briefings. Something for which to watch.

After the fact I probably wouldn't because I'm not sure there's much they could do at that point. I did once call on someone who was in front of me. At first I thought they were just slow and annoying, then I thought maybe it was a delivery person distracted looking for an address but when he turned off that road onto another I dismissed that. He continued to weave and hit a curb so I called and then stayed behind him until cops showed up. I eventually got a little nervous because it must have been clear to him eventually that I was staying behind on purpose. No idea whatever became of it.

Won't do you any good. Nothing happened and if you don't have a video it's hearsay.

I might consider it at the time, depending on how egregious the incident and assuming the driver would likely still be on the road. I'd probably not bother well after the fact, doubting anything could be done at that point.

If I took the time or effort to report every careless driver I see I would be on the phone every day. And in todays times, I doubt police will do anything about it anyway unless he or she caused an accident or you can prove they were drinking or on the phone.
So, I say forget it.
